Statement of Significance
The former Charlie Napier Hotel was built in 1874, to the design of William Vahland, replacing the original timber hotel building which had been constructed on the site in the 1860s. The hotel is a two storey parapeted building with three arched openings; the hotel's balcony and iron lace work were removed post 1968. The bar room contains 12 painted murals depicting commercial logos and local scenes against a decorative painted background; the murals are signed by the artist "Len Moodie" and dated 1906.
The former Charlie Napier Hotel is significant for historical and architectural reasons.
The former Charlie Napier Hotel is historically significant as an example of a substantial 19th century hotel built in a country town during the gold rush era. The excitement generated by the gold fields caused a surge in population and the ensuing need for new and larger-scale buildings. The rare painted folk-art murals give a unique and important interpretation of colonial life through illustrated stories of life on the road, nostalgic reminiscences of 'home' and general attitudes of the time. The former Charlie Napier Hotel and its murals are historically important for their ability to express an important period in Victoria’s history, a time of great change, optimism and nostalgia.
The former Charlie Napier hotel is architecturally significant as a representative example of the work of William Vahland, a prominent Bendigo architect of the time.
